Human Rights. Wat. No Rights. R U Crazy

  

Here we go again. People still thinking they have any kind of Rights what so ever. People don’t get it until now. No rights for you to even discuss your rights. Don’t think by putting Human in front of rights that will wave “Tigers of the East”. I will tell you what, who ever signed or endorsed that statement will be punished by Junta. Junta will show you “Rights” is not “Right”. Junta get ready with your “Dirty Tactics” to silence them. Oh no, these organizations are international “not in Thailand”. Let’s bring that guy who thinks, he is Buddha’s Gift to Thailand and say with no shame “we’re no Dictators” again. Wake up, “Dictator Prayuth” from that illusion you’re living in. To the good people who wrote that statement. I say “Who are you to call on the Army. Who are you to call on the government. The only one, you will be calling is “your Mama” when Junta put all of you in Jail.”.


Statement on the Judicial Harassment of Leading Human Rights Defender, Ms. Pornpen Khongkachonkiet

We, the undersigned civil society groups, are gravely concerned about the criminal legal action taken for defamation and libel against the Cross Cultural Foundation, headed by Ms. Pornpen Khongkachonkiet, by the Army’s Task Force 41. Ms. Pornpen, Director of the Cross Cultural Foundation – an organization which monitors and documents cases of torture and ill-treatment in Thailand – received a police warrant on Sunday 24th August 2014. The Thai Royal Police warrant is dated from 8th August. Major General Leekit Katchodnok, acting on behalf of the Army’s Task Force 41, filed a legal suit against Ms. Pornpen for libel and defamation. The army accuses the Cross Cultural Foundation for damaging the reputation of the army by publishing an open letter exposing a claim to torture. According to the warrant Ms. Pornpen must present herself at the Yala Police Station, in southern Thailand, on August 25th. Ms. Pornpen is a leading Human Rights Defender in Thailand who has been involved in various Human Rights issues both in Thailand and the region, including women’s rights, indigenous rights and preventing forced disappearances. Her work serves the public interest by ensuring that authorities are held accountable and pressuring authorities to unconditionally respect the Human Rights of all. As Director of the Cross Cultural Foundation, Ms. Pornpen has constantly been monitoring and documenting cases of torture and Human Rights violations in Thailand’s southernmost provinces. We deem the army’s action to be an unreasonable, arbitrary and heavy handed attempt to silence all torture complaints against authorities. By quashing Ms. Pornpen’s efforts to support torture victims to publicly complain about Human Rights violations by authorities, the army is seeking to make it more than impossible for torture victims to voice their complaints. Moreover, this is a deplorable act by the army as it aims to further intimidate existing and potential victims of human rights violations to not report these violations. Instead of suppressing the work of Human Rights Defenders, such as Ms. Pornpen, the army should investigate all torture complaints and take all necessary measures to resolve the problem of continuing Human Rights violations. This judicial harassment constitutes a direct infringement of Ms. Pornpen’s right to work as a leading Human Rights Defender in Thailand. As stated in Article 1 of the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders “Everyone has the right to (individually and in association with others) promote and to strive for the realization of Human Rights and fundamental freedoms at the national and international level.” We believe that the filing of this criminal legal case against Ms. Pornpen was undertaken with the purpose of intimidation and that it is in response to Ms. Pornpen’s peaceful and legitimate activities to hold authorities to account for cases of Human Rights violations, including torture, in southern Thailand. We call on the army to: Immediately and unconditionally withdraw the legal action against Ms. Pornpen. Such legal action against the legitimate work of Human Rights Defenders is against the public interest.


We call on the government to: Respect the universally recognized rights, duties and obligations of everyone and organizations to highlight information about Human Rights violations and injustices to the public, as is stated in the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders; Ensure that all persons affected by torture and other human rights violations, including the right to complain which must be respected at all times, receive justice.

Baby Business. Egg Business. “Out of Business” by Junta

Companies went out of Business. Millions lost over night. People out of work. All because 0f “Baby Gammy” story. Junta made commercial surrogacy a crime. No eggs or sperms selling. No womb-for-hire. No more Baby Selling. Thailand will not be “Womb of Asia” no more. The wealthy nations has to go somewhere else for Babies. “The Baby Factory” was shut down by Junta.


Baby Gammy What is “Baby Gammy” story? Australian guy 56 years old, named “David Farnell” and his Chinese born wife (internet Wife). They wanted a Baby. They came to Thailand to get one “Cheaper”. They get Twins. After 7 month in pregnancy, medical tests shows that one baby has a down syndrome. They tell the Surrogacy agency. We don’t like. Get rid of the babies. We need refund. The poor decent Thai mother refuse to kill the babies (Against her Buddha believes, by they way I knew a Thai mother who tried so hard to kill her own babies when she was pregnant so it’s not about the “Buddha believe” as much as about the “personal decency and respect for human life”). The babies are born. A healthy girl and “Baby Gammy” who has down syndrome and heart problems. They take the girl with them to Australia and they leave “Baby Gammy” for the poor Thai mother to take care of, on her own. Now, its her problem. Because she refused abortion and did what she thought was the right thing to do. After 7 months, “Baby Gammy” story hit the internet. in 10 days, “Hope for Baby Gammy” charity reached $250,000 (8 million Thai Baht). Bring that little girl, who went to Australia with that monster sex offender back to Thailand . To be with her twin brother. To get raised by a decent family. Not safe for the little girl to be with a man convicted of 22 child sex offences. The “Scum Bag” David Farnell.


  

He was jailed and convicted of 22 child sex charges in late 1990s for sexually molesting two girls under age of 10 In 1998 he was charged with six counts of indecently dealing with a child under the age of 13 and was convicted and sentenced again. David and Wendy Farnell were married in 2004 in Jianjiang,They met through matchmaking agency on the internet.

Money in “Baby Business” Carrying babies for foreigners, mainly couples from wealthier Asian nations, quickly became a lucrative business in the farming communities. For example “Pak Ok”, a six-hour drive from Bangkok. The Baby business brought new houses, cars and wealth to the village.


People with high profiles or prized qualifications top the list of the most sought after sperm and egg donors. Male medical students are wanted for their academic intelligence and female models for their good looks.A former Miss Thailand reportedly received Bt1 million for her eggs while medical


students are paid up to Bt50,000 for their sperm.Event girls, known as “Pretties”, or models generally receive between Bt20,000 and Bt50,000, said an event girl who was an eggs donor and now works as an agent in the industry. TV actresses received between Bt80,000 and Bt100,000 for their eggs. Surrogacy clients paid a large sum of money on top of that to the agent or surrogacy clinic. Clients usually paid between Bt180,000 and Bt250,000 for a surrogacy involving an event girls or university student but the donor only received between Bt20,000 and Bt50,000. What a rip off ! At the same time, we hear the story of a Japanese man named “Shigeta Mitsutoki”, 24 who fathered 15 babies in Thailand. He is the eldest son of “Yasumitsu Shigeta”, 11 richest billionaire in Japan worth 2.5 billion. By the way, he will be able to fly all these babies to Japan. Is it too much money or is it just crazy. What an Amazing Baby Factory. “Made in Thailand”. No more.!


Surprise.. Surprise.. PM Prayuth

Junta leader General Prayuth Chao-ocha has been elected Thailand‘s prime minister by a majority military family assembly. The Counter Corruption Commission has conveniently said the incoming junta members do not have to declare the assets they amassed before and after holding office. That is in contradiction to the policy for elected officials before the coup. No accountability. Before the coup, the army top Generals were only stealing millions with a long list of procurement scandals. Now, it’s a Gold mine. The whole country economy is in their hands and believe me, they have dirty corrupted hands. No one can question or challenge them. Fiscal budget approved worth Bt2.57 trillion without a dissenting vote. I did like when General Prayuth asked after his Budget Speech, “Does Anyone Disagree with ME?”. No Sir, Yes Sir. Yes Sir. We all AGREE.


Thailand 2015 Budget “While the village funds are cancelled. 10 billion baht dropped for the north and north east. The defense budget has been increased by 5% and budgets allocated for Bangkok’s infrastructure are not affected”. Wrong way to start General PM “Pray…U…th…”. The prosperity that junta promises to create will serve the Elites and urban middle class in Bangkok. It will deepen the precarious social rifts in Thailand.


“Photo” Royal Endorsement for General PM Pray…uth… was in front of the King’s Photo, because the King is so disoriented to figure out “what is the heck going on”. Parkinson’s disease and depression is taken a toll on the King’s health and his days are numbered. Sign.. Sign.. Endorse.. Endorse..


NLA (New Low Action). “Rats of the East”


NLA


NLA Some members of the newly appointed National Legislative Assembly (NLA) from the Army (Top from L to R) Gen. Aksara Kerdphol, Chief of Staff, Royal Thai Army, Lt. Gen. Theerachai Nakwanich, Commander of the 1st Army Region, Lt. Gen. Preecha Chanocha (the younger brother of Gen Prayuth), Commander of the 3rd Army Region, Maj. Gen. Kukiat Sinakha, Commander of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Queen’s Guard (Bottom from L to R) Gen. Songkitti Jaggabatara, former Chief of Defence Forces, Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters, Adm. Surasak Runreongrom, former Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Navy, Lt. Gen. Kanit Sapitak, former Commander of the 1st Army Region and former adviser of Ministry of Defence, Gen. Somjet Boonthanom, former appointed senator and former chief of the secretariat of the Council for National Security (CNS). I really wonder why they call themselves “Tigers of the East”. I see no Tigers. I only see “punch of Rats”. Keep it in the Army family: Gen. Prayuth’s brother Lt-Gen Preecha Chan-ocha (who is 3rd army region commander) as well as Gen Prawit’s brother Patcharawat Wongsuwan and another member from the Wongsuwan family, Khunying Songsuda Yodmanee (daughter of former dictator Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn are in the Assembly. Next anticipated move: Surprise… Surprise… NLA to nominate Prayuth as PM


General..s Love. Dictators Harmony

Cambodia’s Deputy PM Gen. Tea Banh with Gen. Prayuth So lovely, So Romantic. Nice to see, Junta Dictators from Cambodia and Thailand holding hands and enjoying it too, with that stupid grin on their faces. Perfect Couple. Perfect Match in Hell.


Gen Min Aung Hlaing meets Prayuth, Prem; voices his support for NCPO What a Joke, Godfather Prem. Adopting 58 years old Myanmar General. Holding hands again! During a visit to Thailand in 2012, Myanmar Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, 58, asked General Prem, a symbol of Thailand’s royalist-military elites, to adopt him as his son. The 94year-old Thai general, who has no children of his own, agreed. The “adoption” is a godfather-godson relationship. General Prem, when he was chief of the Thai army, knew Senior General Min Aung Hlaing’s late father.


The Killer Monk. Thugs…u…ban “Suthep Thaugsuban”

Abhisit Vejjajiva and Suthep Thaugsuban. Former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and his former deputy Suthep Thaugsuban, who is currently in the monk hood, appeared in court Monday (July 28) to deny a murder charge over a bloody crackdown on opposition “Red Shirt” supporters in 2010. The judge ordered the pair to return on August 28 for the next hearing in their joint trial. Don’t worry. Be Happy. Murder Charges, no big deal. You guys are no “Red Shirts“. You just have “Red Blood” on your hands. You guys are untouchables. Junta is on your side. It’s only a show. Good to go. Case Closed. I really don’t understand, why general Prayuth didn’t include Amnesty for both of you in his constitution. Extra article doesn’t hurt no one. Same like article 48, which protects the coupmakers from prosecution. Let it be Article 49, protection for the “Monk and the Punk” from prosecution. Update on 8/28/2014 Thai Court Drops Murder Charges Against Former PM and Deputy. No Surprise. Expected. Good Job “Thai Justice System”. Only 90 Red Shirts Lives. No big deal. The sad thing, reading 8/27/2014 news. Military Court sentences 7 anti-coup protesters to 3 months in jail and 10,000 Baht for silent protest at McDonald’s Chiang Rai Central Plaza branch. “Thai Justice System” needs Justice. needs to be color blind, money blind. Not only Just.. US…


Con………….stitution

King Prayuth On Tuesday, Thailand’s revered 86-year-old King formally endorsed the interim charter in a ceremony with General Prayuth Chan-ocha, the army’s chief. The ceremony, which took place in the coastal city Hua Hin, provides additional royal legitimacy to the coup by endorsing the new laws drawn up by the military. Customized Constitution for the man with the Gun. Sweeping Power for Junta. Granted Amnesty for the Coup. No Shinawatra. Thailand’s military junta has unveiled an interim constitution that allows the army to retain sweeping powers. And the army chief, who currently has total executive and legislative oversight, could become the kingdom’s next prime minister. The new constitution has 17 pages, 48 sections. Some interesting sections. Section 35: Bans those convicted or officially found of corruption and electoral fraud from holding a political position and prohibits populist policies. Simply, no Shinawatra allowed. Section 44: Junta is to handpick a 220-member legislature (replacing the House of Representatives and the Senate) that will later select a prime minister and Cabinet. Anyone who has held a political position in a current party will be excluded from the new group of lawmakers. Section 48: Granted amnesty to Junta for all illegal things they did & will do. But, you already doing whatever you want anyway. But now, it’s written in the constitution. Official Royal Stamp of approval.


The charter is also seen as a move by the junta to ensure political power will securely be in the hands of the conservative and royalist elite. The last five national elections in Thailand have been won by parties supported by billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra. Junta want to ensure Thai politics are permanently freed from the influence of Thaksin Shinawatra . In the meantime, there is strong speculation General Prayuth will be selected as prime minister. We just have to wait and see. Don’t forget that General Prayuth has to go to Chiang Mai to see his fortune teller “Warin Buawiratlert”. Will the Himalayan holy man gives a vision to ‘Aajaan Warin’ that General Prayuth will be the next prime minister. We have to wait for that Himalayan holy man “Warin Buawiratlert” to decide Thailand future.

“Himalayan holy man” My only concern now. Why is that Himalayan holy man has 3 fingers up. I thought that is banned in Thailand now. Oh, my Buddha. Jail time “Time to Think” now for the “Himalayan holy man” for that 3 fingered salute. So, who is going to decide the next prime minister now? If the “Himalayan holy man” is busted in Junta Jail ! I think a Flawless “Flaw…..Less” man like you General Prayuth should be the next PM. Coup well Done.


Ying Luck. Same Same or Different.

Yingluck Shinawatra Here we go again. Same Tactics. Same Games. The National Council for Peace and Order approved Ms Yingluck’s request to leave the kingdom on Sunday for a 20-day trip to Europe. It is expected that Yingluck will visit her brother, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is scheduled to celebrate his birthday anniversary in Paris on July 26. Ms Yingluck’s overseas trip beginning July 20 to August 10, a source close to Ms Yingluck said that she would leave Thailand on July 23 and return on August 10. She will visit several European countries with her son Supasek Amornchat who will have school holidays then. They will visit Germany, Switzerland and France where they will attend a birthday party of Thaksin Shinawatra. Hours later… Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) on Thursday finds former Thai Prime Minister Yingluck guilty of negligence in rice program and resolved to ask the Attorney-General to arraign former premier Yingluck Shinawatra on charges of dereliction of duty on ricepledging scheme and caused damage of 500 billion baht to the country. The NACC will forward the case to the Attorney-General next week, who will charge Ms Yingluck in Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Persons Holding Political Position. Will they move quick and charge her before she leaves and block her from leaving the country or they let her go and have the same fate as Thaksin. The Destruction of Shinawatra continues… Simple Thai Math: Thailand = No Justice = Just Us, Us = “The Elite”.


Yingluck One Way Ticket

Yingluck Bags

Ex-Premier Yingluck Shinawatra with her son flew to Paris On July 23, with 15 suitcases on a one-way ticket. Is she coming back? Now, Junta is going to add another charge to Yingluck. All That missing rice was inside Yingluck bags.


Big Hug from Big brother Thaksin in Paris.
